As of now all GNSS constellation are somewhat spoofable, especially if you only want to drift a clock a few milliseconds late... And a lot of timeservers are still GPS only so the attack is pretty easy to perform.

The private line idea is maybe doable (but which protocol? NTP doesn't offer the needed precision), but as all substations would need one, my guess is that eventually money would be an object...
If your company lets you sign the FSF legal papers. Most will not, and in the end you will not be able to contribute to GNU projects. It also needs weeks to clear the FSF paper work. About 1% of my users did it successfully.

Except VocaLink still own and operate FPS’s central infrastructure, that’s not going to change anytime soon. Even if there was the political will to change it, there isn’t really the technical capability. They also own the only real FPS payment gateway (although you don’t need to use them).

It’s true that Pay.UK sets the participants fees etc But it’s not hard to see them increasing them to help deal with fraud costs if Open Banking payment initiation takes off. I know this because I was involved in preventing the fees from being increased that last time this was proposed.

You can also bet money that MasterCard will use their ownership of VocaLink to find a way to increase their cut of FPS fees.

That sounds like a flood from the far right to me.

I don't see the attraction but when you consider all the overhead costs that come with living traditionally I can see why it makes sense.

FWIW a non-trivial minority of people in the residential building trades have been doing this for years. They move north and south with the construction seasons.
To me it looks like there are not many affordable options right now.

CockroachDB understandably wants you to use their Cloud or Enterprise products: the OSS version is quite limited. For example it doesn't support row-level partitioning (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/configure-replicat...). Which means, if I understand correctly, it is not of much help for scaling writes to a single big table.

With that they win the public's opinion. I make an effort to always explain to people I hear complaining about those pop-ups why they've been made to be annoying. Usually it helps to turn their opinion against GDPR towards the companies employing the dark patterns.

No one likes to be blatantly manipulated.
The opt out cookie was created by ad networks prior to GDPR when many EU countries allowed for opt in by default. The opt out cookie was the tool to allow users to opt out. It still has value today as it allows an ad network to remember a user's choice not to be tracked.

The opt out cookie is set by the advertiser, not the publisher, and the contents of the cookie have generic text like "OPT OUT".
I would add that photography was quite expensive back then so I bet no one was wasting his film on making photos of awful places.

It would be like judging current reality by Instagram photos, so must be that everyone is fit and travels to beautiful destinations ... well homeless people don't put their photos on Instagram.
Then it wasn't written for you. It was written for people who want to distribute software to users who do not all run the same Unix operating system (not to mention the radically incompatible hardware of the day), and whose Unix vendors are all mutually hostile to any form of cooperation with each other. If all you ever install your software on is Ubuntu running in a VM at your cloud provider, then of course this will all be irrelevant to you.

Hm. I thought Й was being used in the old style (pre-1918) writing as well? At least this[1] translator keeps it in masculine adjectives. Though it doesn't keep the dots on a Ё. I've never seen И substituted for Й, but Ё -> Е is common, especially in names (for example some people write "Артем" but everyone still reads it as if there's a "ё").

I’m in the midst of something like this, but much simpler. I haven’t deployed it yet but the structure a flat directory of .md files. Some of the content is high quality, much are links or snippets from elsewhere. One rule is that I type everything out so that the knowledge does become mine in some way. If I don’t have the time that’s when I drop in a link.

For me it’s not a polished end product, just a place to help jog my memory when the time comes and maybe to put other people to if/when appropriate.

Right - cities have been “revitalized” which has driven demand. Values have stagnated in other places like many suburbs.

I think the main issue with housing prices is some people can’t afford to live where they want to live. And there’s some legitimacy there as people don’t want a long commute for various good reasons. But it boils down to people not being able to finance the lifestyle they want. Hence gentrification where those with limited means move into areas currently populated by people with even less means. And of course that has its own opponents who also generally oppose new development oddly enough.

Maybe remote work will loosen the demand to live in a handful of expensive cities?

To back up how far one server can go, Stack Overflow used a single database for a long time

https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar... (2013 post had much less redundancy, but even their 2016 architecture is pretty undistributed in terms of being able to recreate everything from the single source of truth database)
Overhauling vim script feels forced by Neovim's successful integration of Lua. But instead of adopting a sane language, or adopting Lua so Vim and Neovim can continue to be compatible, he decided to write yet another homebrew language.
Yes. More details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem
That's not the point. the cover was a Windows exploit, "please run it", for whatever reasons, presumably collaboration followed by monetary rewards, respect, etc.

Why would anyone run that code outside a sandbox? it is unclear. even more so a security researcher.

Come on, it is a single click to launch a Windows sandbox... was the source extremely trustworthy? fine, that would be the same as giving your password to your spouse.

Gay men are less likely to have children, so not having the expenses resulting from that leaves more disposable income.

This is what I've seen cited as a reason multiple times. I have no reference to point to, maybe someone else does?
I don't think it is quite the same.

- Switching from a car to a van to a lorry is fairly low cost. You don't need to recreate your product (probably).

- You don't need to run distributed databases in a cluster to start.

But I think most importantly the decrease in dev speed and performance is an investment in future scalability. And I only imagine that this different will shrink over time to where for example a 1 node "distributed" DB isn't that different to work with than a 1 node "traditional" DB. And that small difference pays off because adding a second node doesn't have huge tradeoffs.

I agree that right now it doesn't make sense. If I was starting a new product I would still fire up a PostgreSQL instance. However I think that the day will come where the difference is small enough and software support is complete enough that we will start with something distributed, much like people don't often start with SQLite today, even though it is quicker to get going (also not a great comparison because it has less features).
Is a custom core required to support the full standard instruction set? I thought I could license the rights to have my own, say, A53, and then I’d be able to customize it (as long as I don’t call it an A53 core). Is that not the case?
Apple Celebrates Black History Month
I guess many software developers and security researchers tend to have worse system security due to what they do - they are likely to have an experimental environment with code signing disabled, system libraries modified, no root password, and routinely download and run random PoCs and binaries for analysis. Fortunately, most use virtualization for that, and it should protect them from most threats (unless it's a VM escape 0day), even better is to use another machine in the room (use a VM if you must access it remotely, file transfers can be compromised). But one must have the discipline to keep personal, production, and experimental works compartmentalized - never access your home network, personal accounts, or production server from the experimental environment. As time goes by, many usually unintentionally violated the trust boundary for convenience and create a serious security problem.

But this attack is nasty - even one follows all of these security measures I mentioned - it provides no protection. The attackers are not targeting security researchers personally but only their exploits. If you only have a single "untrusted" experimental system for reverse-engineering and testing all your exploits, once it's compromised, everything can be stolen. A better compartmentalized environment is possible (e.g. one for all untrusted files from the web, one for personal development, and disallow the exchange of any non-text files between them), but it's an order-of-magnitude more difficult to use.
There’s a quote [0] by Lee Pace in the last season that I remember as both the best description of the Internet as well as explains my love in the mid 90s when I first started using the web...
“ When I was five, my mother took me to the city. And we went through the Holland Tunnel, and it was basic. Concrete and steel. But it was also my excitement sitting in the backseat, wondering when it was going to be our turn to emerge. It was the explosion of sunlight. And when we exited the tunnel, all of Manhattan was laid out before us. And that was the best part of the trip the amazing possibility to be able to go anywhere within something that is magnificent and never-ending. This is the first Web browser,”

I love this show so much. I worked for a bunch of misses and I like seeing a description of the times that were so important, but not told by the winners.

It's sad, but in a way, this type of censorship tends to increase interest in the content, so hopefully this happens here. The Khashoggi murder is one of the most blatently horrible incidents in the last few years that should be discussed at length and those responsible actually held responsible.

I'd never heard of the film, but now I am definitely going to check it out.

You can get more than that on common servers, see e.g. the recent post by Let's Encrypt on their new database server:

https://letsencrypt.org/2021/01/21/next-gen-database-servers...

They have 2TB RAM in there, and I suspect that is not the largest possible amount if you're willing to spend more money (though probably the largest possible amount for that particular server).

I played around a bit on the Dell website, and the largest server I could find supported up to 6TB RAM, with a price at ~300k EUR (I assume nobody pays list price for these).
For one application, kubernetes is obviously giant overkill. Companies with hundreds and thousands and applications need a platform that can offer standardised deployment pattern, runtime pattern and scaling pattern for those apps. Kubernetes is a great start for managing all those containers in a consistent, secure, multi tenant environment. I know customers with literally 10000s of VMs that are moving to more cloud like environments, either on premise in their own datacenter or in the public cloud. They need these kind of platforms to automate away the repetitive stuff and have a secure posture, throughout the company.
I agree. I haven't given Neovim a chance yet and I'm not a huge fan of Lua but it would certainly be a pretty good upgrade compared to clunky Vimscript.

Vimscript feels like a configuration file format gone wild (probably because it's sort of what it is) and it's really annoying to use in my experience. Coming from Emacs it was really a bad surprise: say what you want about elisp, it at least feels like a proper programming language.
Modern HPC schedulers like Slurm are able to run containerized workloads making the problem of portability less painful.

For batch workload K8s is not sufficient. You need a workflow engine on top like Kubeflow or Airflow, so run you jobs. Thus. consider K8s more as a cluster operating software, but not as a fully-enabled workload management like slurm.

Furthermore, K8s has so many features you do not need in HPC environments, where high throughput and load occupation is paramount.
Very nice writeup, I hope autotools will continue the good work. It is still the best build system.

- If you ship a trimmed down version of ./configure, it will run quite fast. Many people copy&paste configure.ac from other projects and do not delete unnecessary tests.

- It is easy for users of other systems to add portability patches. With ./configure you can do anything, not so with meson or cmake.

- ./configure's command line syntax is still the most elegant compared to the enterprise syntax of cmake and meson. --prefix=/home/foo/bar vs. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/foo/bar. Specifying CFLAGS in cmake is painful.

- Unlike cmake or meson, autotools do not dictate a rigid source tree structure.

- You can easily build both shared and static libraries, which the "modern" build systems do not support.

- Cross compiling on Linux with autotools/gcc is heaven compared to cmake/clang. You just need the host triplet and you are done.

- The build output is exactly what I want to see. cmake and meson/ninja hide the output by default. If you enable it using yet another arcane option, the output is more chaotic and unreadable than in most autotools projects.

In general I find autotools projects like gcc easier to compile. The flags are more intuitive, the output is organized and readable. Compare that to cmake projects like llvm, which always seem to expand the option set to more than 100 unintuitive -DENABLE_ARCANE_FOOBAR_QUUX="a;b;...;z" flags.

Autotools is very much appreciated. Thank you for another release, I am looking forward to future ones!

Find another way to monetize the site. It is likely that adsense is not going to be the great earner you think it may be?
I’ve also wondered why there aren’t “enough” fines. Are the countries just being cautious because they want to establish precedent before going after the “big fish” like Facebook or Google? Or is it something else?
Or alternatively (in my humble opinion), they should stop trying to be what they're not (a long form blogging platform) and instead stick to what they excel at (short broadcasts that are hashtag groupable and searchable).
A lot of electronics are potted in epoxy or something similar, true, but things like conformal coatings and/or rubber seals are actually much more common. Industrial equipment often needs to be both repairable and water/dustproof and uses these methods.
Go head and spin this however you want, but I was strictly talking about a persons responsibility to vote and perform their civic duties.
I haven’t worked at a FAANG or any other company even close to that level of scale, so you can take me with half a grain of salt too.

But what you said is absolutely true. It’s also something you will very much experience once you start working professionally.

I’m in no position to give you advice, and I think I might be giving advice to myself...just don’t let it get to you.
> Today, it's clear that languages and knowledge don't really work like that, and it's not practical to approach them this way.

There are many applications of Semantic Web that has little to do with natural languages. If you have a better option for all the existing RDF data sets (https://lod-cloud.net/, https://www.wikidata.org/) and ontologies (http://www.ontobee.org/, https://schema.org/) it would be good to be explicit about it.

I would prefer to have more data (e.g. data from US federal reserve data, world bank data) as RDF and accessible via SPARQL endpoints than less, because it is much more useful as RDF than as CSV, in my opinion.

But this wasn't talking about using other languages with more of a safety focus. It was talking about using newer features of C++ that are meant to support safer programming. Most of these come in the form of abstractions with non-zero cost.
I wouldn't bet on every security researcher also being a security enthusiast and vice versa. Also it depends on your scope. Plus the attacks originated from conversations mainly via Twitter and other social media and email. I am probably wrong, but even a security researcher wouldn't boot up a readonly OpenBSD live system with a cli-based browser just to access Twitter, as you are trying to imply. Also the article mentions compromising people with forged VS Studio projects relying on Powershell. To me this is pretty much "average people" software.

Sad to read this. I went to a dinner 5 1/2 years ago with my partner and 11 month old. Jim was so kind and seemed happy we came with a baby. He let us use his room when our kid was crying, and coming from big cities in the US, I wondered how he didn't get everything ripped off.

The food wasn't great - a massive, massive bowl of spaghetti - and it was so crowded it was hard to actually talk to and meet that many people, but they vibe was special. It was my parents' hippy idealism in plain, unassuming practice. I was hoping to go again when we could travel finally.
I didn't expect having to qualify everything I say to the context of a discussion and topic on hand. I don't agree on your definition of personal data. Phone numbers and email addresses of my contacts are personal information that don't belong to me, I have merely unwritten consent to use them (but not to give them to every spammer).

But none of that seemed to be relevant to the Grindr fine. And one thing I should have probably mentioned before - I don't know Grindr and how the subscription works there, but my opinion on paying(subscription) vs giving data away would also depend if there were additional features granted in the subscription (now thinking about it probably yes) or not. This would in my opinion qualify as forcing user into paying even for thing he might not necessarily want to just to protect own privacy.
I mentioned it in previous posts. We have easy to use open hardware and software build instructions [1] for an air quality monitor based on a Wemos D1 mini.
